Abstract: A turbine assembly for a variable-geometry turbocharger includes a turbine housing defining a divided volute having first and second scrolls, wherein the first scroll has a substantially smaller volume than the second scroll. The first scroll feeds exhaust gas to a first portion of a turbine wheel upstream of the throat of the wheel, while the second scroll feeds gas to a second portion of the wheel at least part of which is downstream of the throat. Flow from the second scroll is regulated by a sliding piston. The first scroll can be optimized for low-flow conditions such that the turbocharger can operate effectively like a small fixed-geometry turbocharger when the piston is closed. The turbine housing defines an inlet that is divided by a dividing wall into two portions respectively feeding gas to the two scrolls, a leading edge of the dividing wall being downstream of the inlet mouth.

Abstract: We describe a model for multilevel information security. Information security is defined as combinations of confidentiality, integrity and availability. These three aspects are regarded as properties of a generic information object, and are treated as mutually independent. Each aspect is represented by an axis in an n-dimensional vector space, where n is the number of independent security aspects of interest. The model can ensure directed information flow along an arbitrary number of axes simultaneously. An information object is assigned a security label denoting the security level along an arbitrary number of axes. The model is role based. A role is assigned an access label along the same axes. Verification of a role's access to information is performed by comparing access label with security label. Since the aspects represented by each axis are mutually independent, each axis may be treated by itself. This enables a very efficient algorithm for verification of access. The model will therefore be suited for systems having low processing capacity. Based on this model, we describe a method and an apparatus to ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability for information from peripheral equipment in communications networks. Such peripheral equipment may be, but is not limited to personal terminals for rescue personnel, soldiers etc, sensors (detectors) for smoke, gases, motion, intrusion etc. The invention supports decision support systems in that the information has known confidentiality, integrity and availability even from inexpensive sensors, which do not include a processor or the like. The invention differs from prior art in that it, among other features: - Treats an arbitrary number of mutually independent aspects of information security, - Assumes that confidentiality, integrity and availability are mutually independent variables, - On this basis can verify access to information by means of simple binary operations, by a simple logic gate circuit or by a processor.

Abstract: L'invention concerne, dans des modes de réalisation, un système comprenant au moins un circuit intégré. En cours de fonctionnement, le système transforme l'image vidéo, la transposant d'un domaine de luminosité initial en un domaine de luminosité linéaire comprenant une plage de valeurs de luminosité qui correspondent à des valeurs de puissance rayonnante adjacentes sensiblement équidistantes dans une image vidéo affichée. Dans ce domaine de luminosité linéaire, le système peut déterminer un réglage d'intensité de la source lumineuse sur la base d'au moins une partie de l'image vidéo transformée, par exemple la partie de l'image vidéo transformée qui comprend des informations visuelles variant dans l'espace de l'image vidéo. En outre, le système peut modifier l'image vidéo transformée de manière qu'un produit du réglage d'intensité et d'une transmittance associée à l'image vidéo modifiée soit approximativement égal à un produit d'un réglage d'intensité antérieur et d'une transmittance associée à l'image vidéo. La modification peut par exemple consister à changer les valeurs de luminosité dans l'image vidéo transformée.
